[BUG] Web Interface shows broken image links on large external database

[mblack4d]

The bug

I do have a large Google Database Export - 1 TB ~ 97000 Assets

Images below show the main web interface. Clicking on an image shows a large broken image. Downloading the image - provides the file. Hovering over a video as seen below will - preview the video. Clicking on the video will produce a broken image.

-- I did attempt to run the Thumbnail Job - it found 15000+ assets or so and then quit

is the job still running? Can you get the server and microservices log?

[mblack4d]

I just pulled the most recent logs and attached below

to test - i created /upload/encoded-video and /upload/thumbs in the immich directory and started the Thumbs job again.

It's Doing something

but the directories I created are still empty...

immich server logs.txt

[alextran1502]

Hmm why do you have to create those directories in the first place?

[mblack4d]

I don't think it was needed - I was doing that based off the error logs. Appears the directories were internal to the docker containers not the immich directory on Ubuntu

I'm seeing ffmpeg activities now in HTOP

I'll check again in the morning and see what happens

[mblack4d]

Only a few pictures shown as I know these are nothing sensitive but the entire database looks like this. Hovering over videos plays the content but clicking in to them - just a black screen.

I have noticed my Database size is increasing slowly.

@mblack4d did you manage to resolve this? I'm having the same issue and looking for a solution

[chromosapiens]

Found the solution here: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/10710#issuecomment-2198574532

For me at least it was an immich_microservices container that was still around.

If you are on latest version without microservices container: docker ps Then if there is such a container: docker container stop immich_microservices

Then in the Jobs section of Administration clicking on GENERATE THUMBNAILS -> Missing immediately worked again and fixed the problem.

[jrasm91]

Definitely make sure the microservices container has been removed. Definitely make sure it's not running and on an older version :laughing:. Also, job queuing and library scanning have both been improved since this issue was opened.
